Historically dynamic-debug gets its module names from KBUILD_MODNAME. This works well for loadable modules, as the module loader has always required them to have unique names, but for builtins it is basically kbasename(srcfile), which sadly gives us many modules named "main".
IOW, it makes this ambiguous: bash-5.3# echo module main +m > /proc/dynamic_debug/control since it would affect all 4 independent modules named main: bash-5.3# ddgrep =m init/main.c:1265 [main]initcall_blacklist =m "blacklisting initcall %s\n" kernel/power/main.c:49 [main]pm_restore_gfp_mask =m "GFP mask restored\n" kernel/module/main.c:2862 [main]move_module =m "\t0x%lx 0x%.8lx %s\n" drivers/base/power/main.c:149 [main]device_pm_add =m "Adding info for %s:%s\n" We can improve this by using KBUILD_MODFILE for dyndbg's modname in builtins (which is unique), and KBUILD_MODNAME for loadables (which is already required/guaranteed to be unique by module-loader): The above control-file entries then become: init/main.c:1265 [init/main]initcall_blacklist ... kernel/power/main.c:49 [kernel/power/main]pm_restore_gfp_mask ... kernel/module/main.c:2862 [kernel/module/main]move_module ... drivers/base/power/main.c:149 [drivers/base/power/main]device_pm_add ... While this is a user visible change; [params] becomes [kernel/params] etc, it is not a behavior change; we now match the query-module against the subsystem/module name or its kbasename (the simple-modname), which as before, matches all 4 modules. This allows queries to be specific when desired: "module init/main", while preserving the existing meaning of "module main" The deeper reason for this change is not obvious. If any builtin "main" module were to add a classmap, it would attach to all "main" modules. If 2 "main" modules defined separate classmaps, both modules would inadvertently share both classmaps. Since classmaps map classnames to 0..62, and independently defined classmaps are most likely to start at 0 (unless author is planning to share the 0..62 range with other classmaps), we have a setup for later reserved range conflicts. Having unique names prevents future conflicts. This solution isn't perfect: 1. it changes displayed [params] to [kernel/params] etc 2. its mostly redundant with "filename */main.*" 3. Ideally, queries like "module power", "module module", "module base/power" might be better but would break old queries. Adjust Documentation with "simple modname" and "subsystem modname".
